Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
I am tough customer when it comes to teeth whitening. I have extremely sensitive teeth, a small mouth and a terrible gag reflex. Last summer, I tried to use a teeth whitening kit that required me to make a custom-fitted tray. Well, the tray wouldn’t fit in my tiny mouth. And the white strips sold …
A couple of months ago, I needed to have a crown replaced at the dentist. I’m sure you know how expensive that can be. As a result, my plans for getting a professional teeth lightening has been put on hold. Two years ago, I reviewed a gel from Luster that gave me good results at …
Who gets excited about toothpaste? I do! I’m that old that I can remember when they first starting putting stripes in toothpaste. And I remember the tubes that stood up on the sink and looked kind of like a rocket ship. When I worked in advertising in New York, one of my accounts was for …
My Good News First, a little tooting my own horn. I got an email and saw a post on Facebook yesterday morning from Feedspot, a blogging organization, letting me know that Never Say Die Beauty was chosen as #5 out of the Top 25 Beauty Bloggers Over 40. Yippee! They also gave me a cute …
I had never heard of “Galentine’s Day” till a couple of years ago. I guess that’s because I don’t watch a lot of regular TV. Not surprisingly, I’ve never seen one episode of Parks and Reaction, even though I like Amy Poehler. But the idea of “ladies celebrating ladies” or friends celebrating friends on February …
When I was offered NeoCell Ceramides Skin Hydrator to try out, I don’t think I knew that it was a bottle of supplements (though I have tried other supplements from NeoCell before). But when they arrived, I was happy to receive a bottle of skincare capsules rather than another skincare serum or cream to try. …
I am always on the lookout for lightweight sunscreens especially for my face. Though I prefer physical sunscreens to the chemical ones, I do use both. On Renu’s blog, Cosmetopiadigest, I read her mini-review of Country & Stream Honey UV Water Gel SPF 32, and I was intrigued because she said it was lightweight. When …
Did you see the movie, Manchester-by-the-Sea? I did and though I think the movie was more about the people of Gloucester, it was a terrific movie and Manchester-by-the-Sea is a beautiful town. My aunt was visiting with me over the holiday weekend, and today she helped me work on a floral display that my friend, …
Several weeks ago, I received a body care product to try out from a new-to-me brand, DerMend Mature Skin Solutions. DerMend makes several anti-aging products to protect and help reverse the signs of aging skin on the body. I remember years ago visiting my Aunt Dorothea in a nursing home at the end of her …
About a year ago, I found out about a cool service called PINCHme. I think I learned about it on Facebook. With PINCHme, you don’t need to have a blog or a Twitter feed or an Instagram feed to participate. You can test out household and personal care products and give feedback on them via …
Oh, this month I used up a lot of big bottles. Happy day! Haircare StriVectin Hair All Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner for Frizz-Prone Hair: How usual is it to use up both shampoo and conditioner in the same month? Not very, right? But I did! StriVectin’s All Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner are one of …
Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to say thank you to the readers of Fashion Flash, the group of over 40 bloggers who I teamed up with in 2016, as a way to share a variety of lifestyle-oriented posts with the readers of my blog that go beyond the mostly beauty focussed posts that I …
Today, I’m bringing back the Friday Find, a brief post about a product I think you need to know about. As I’ve mentioned before, my eyelashes and brows became sparser over the years, and I realized I needed to do something about it. I’ve tried castor oil, and I had good results from it though the …

The months keep rolling by, and now we’re in October. Time for my monthly empties post! I finished up quite a few things, some of which I was dying to get through and others, well I’m sad they’re gone. Let’s get to it. Bath & Body Perlier White Almond Antibacterial Foaming Soap, full size: …
